The Little Gym Update

Julianna has been taking classes at The Little Gym in Brentwood since August.  She has really enjoyed it and has learned a lot!  She is more confident with her routines for her gymnastics and is really loving tap dancing and ballet during her dance class on Mondays.  She is also having a lot of fun learning about different sports during her sports skills class on Tuesdays.

She used to be scared of the balance beam and needed a lot of help on the uneven bars.  She can now do her flips with very little help.  She has mastered doing her forward roll and is now working on her cartwheel.  I am amazed at how well she has done.  I love the Little Gym because the instructors are very patient, and they make it fun for the kids.  The environment is never competitive.  I do not aim for Julianna to be a professional gymnast someday, if she wants to, I will be with her 101% of the way...but if she doesn't want to, then I am glad that I was able to let her try it and that it has helped her gain confidence.  She is also slowly learning that if she practices hard enough, she can do anything.  She takes pride with what she can do now.  Most important of all, she is having fun.
